Will this satellite work with an HD box? We have all DirectTV HD boxes.

It only receives standard definition. You HD receive should operate on SD as well. But no HD.

I connect a standard def Directv box to it and have no issues. Works great.

I have had no problem getting OTA digital stations. The box has a connection for a satellite, dont have a dish, but I see no reason it should not work. What the box does is select what input you send to each tv. It doesnt care what the signal is, it just switches it.

yes, I use it with our DirectTV. It works with the regular box and the Genie box.

Yes, for the channels that air HD content you will see it in HD on your TV. Just make sure to connect the box to your TV via an HDMI cable to get the best picture.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

Not sure I checked with directv before I bought dish to make sure it worked with my box. Some of the newer dvr HD boxes wont work as per directv, just double check with directv before you buy it.

I have directv with this one. Depends on the receiver you get from dish. If you get an had dish and have an he tv then you should

No, mine setup only uses dish. I believe you can buy a model just for direct TV.

I have an older Direct TV DVR (model HR-20-100S). Will this HD work for me? Also, can I make it the default HD, to avoid using the lousy internal HD in the Direct TV DVR? (I have had about 10 crash and burn on me over a 10 year period, and lost hundreds of recorded programs.I would pay extra if they had a reliable solid state HD as an option).

It works with Directv and Dish, You will not get HD tv with direct but you will with Dish. I swear by this product! It literally takes about 1 minute to set up and 2 minutes to lock onto the satelite in yuor area. I use it when traveling in the RV.

This box doesn't solve your problem. You need a HD-DVR in conjunction with this box to enjoy all the functionality of DirecTV, particularly OnDemand. Sorry...

Yes. There is really no such thing as an HD TV antenna. The type transmission did not change only the content. Forget the antenna manufactures hype. An old antenna will work with new HD digital TVs and the so called new HD antennas will work with the old analog TVs.Remember, this antenna will have to be connected to a digital to analog converter box for your old TV to work.

No, won't work with smart, HD, or any other type of digital TV. It only works with older analog types as there is only two jacks coming from the unit. One is audio and the other video.

Any HDTV with a HDMI port can be used with a DirecTV HD Receiver, so yes. This particular model has 3 HDMI ports, cheaper Samsungs only have two; a major downgrade from last year's model (most had 4).

Google which boxes it works with. It will work with some HD boxes, but you won't get HD channels

It will work with standard receiver but you will not have HD picture. Directv upgraded mine free of charge.
